Item 3.a <br /> DRAFT 7 <br /> 216 Nish Trivedi: As part of your recommendation, would you be asking for removing curb and gutter on all these projects? <br /> 217 The focus for these staff recommendations is to modernize the roads, get 11-foot travel lanes and bike lanes. <br /> 218 <br /> 219 Randy Marshall. I think so. Curb and gutter and sidewalk can't happen. We don't have a municipality to maintain, and we <br /> 220 should never put it in there. <br /> 221 <br /> 222 Eric Broo: Would that be deemed by the DOT as too costly, nixing the project when we could otherwise get 80% of what <br /> 223 we really want? <br /> 224 <br /> 225 Jenn Sykes: Does changing it up the probability of a higher score? <br /> 226 <br /> 227 Nish Trivedi: Cost is a scoring criteria, reducing the cost may improve its score. <br /> 228 <br /> 229 Matt Day: Curbs and gutters will be more expensive. <br /> 230 <br /> 231 Nish Trivedi: Without curb and gutter, there will be no bike lane,just a 4-foot paved shoulder. <br /> 232 <br /> 233 Matt Day: That will be cheaper and improve the score. We are working on ways to improve the modernization aspect so <br /> 234 they do not compete with capacity aspects. Perhaps scale differently. <br /> 235 <br /> 236 Heidi Perry: What about bike counts as a provision like along Dairyland Road?There are more cyclists there on weekends <br /> 237 then cars. <br /> 238 <br /> 239 Randy Marshall: If you're proposing to do a four-foot bike lane, that would wipe out the ditch, and you would have to do <br /> 240 the ditch beyond that and buy the right of way which would run the score down. <br /> 241 <br /> 242 Nish Trivedi: And the length of the road. In SPOT 5.0 the length of Old Greensboro Road was from Alamance County into <br /> 243 DCHC MPO. It was not broken into segments. Matt, If we have a projects list and they cover a whole road, can we in the <br /> 244 MPO/RPO technical committees and submit only a portion of it? <br /> 245 <br /> 246 Matt Day: As long as there's a logical reason for why we're breaking it at a certain point. <br /> 247 <br /> 248 Nish Trivedi: This list is to get the whole corridor. In the MPO/RPO meetings, they will be divided into separate sections <br /> 249 for better scoring. That is why as part of staff recommendations we are providing you the two bases for breaking the <br /> 250 segments, Traffic Count(AADT) and Crashes (number and severity) both are variables used in calculating the quantitative <br /> 251 scores. <br /> 252 <br /> 253 Heidi Perry: I would like to keep all these on here for discussion. I agree with Randy regarding removing the curb and <br /> 254 gutters and keeping them on here as paved shoulders. I would like for there to be some way of saying that the shoulder <br /> 255 should be able to withstand the same amount of traffic as the roads. <br /> 256 <br /> 257 Nish Trivedi: That's why staff is recommending these as highway modernization projects, to bring that whole road to a <br /> 258 current standard, not just a road with a 2-foot paved shoulder but to ensure sufficient shoulder for safety purpose and/or <br /> 259 bike lane. <br /> 260 <br /> 261 Heidi Perry: At some point, we might be able to add another foot to each of these and make them true bike lane projects. <br /> 262 I think we need to keep them on here as they are just so they don't go away without some reason for removing them. <br /> 263 <br /> 264 Nish Trivedi: When MPO/RPOs submit highway projects to NCDOT, they must provide a standard street cross section <br /> 265 they want the road to be for scoring purpose. <br /> 266 <br /> 267 Matt Day: When we submit these to DOT we have to pick one of their standard cross sections that we submitted it as. <br /> 268 We can write in the description what we'd like if one of those standard cross section doesn't exactly match up with what we <br /> 269 want. <br />
